Manchester City’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal means two wins from two in the club’s final games will see LvG secure the all elusive top four finish, and in all probability another season at Old Trafford as manager.

In an interview with fanzine United We Stand in March, Scholes said he would like United to sign Luka Modric and Raphael Varane from Real Madrid.
The only goal of the game came on 72 minutes when a lapse in defence from Sebastien Bassong allowed Wayne Rooney to get in behind the Canaries’ back line.
Winning was no doubt made all the sweeter after Martial’s woes and full-back Matteo Darmian’s first-half withdrawal. With Norwich fighting against relegation, it wasn’t the most handsome game we’ve played; it was a tough one but, in the second half, we showed that we wanted those three points and I was lucky to help the team with a goal.
Both coaches opted to re-shuffle the pack moments later, as Van Gaal introduced Morgan Schneiderlin, while Norwich brought on Patrick Bamford.
“Too often it’s been an error or a lapse in concentration by someone at some stage and it makes it hard to go on and get something from the game”.
United plays again on Tuesday against West Ham United, which is part of the reason for Rashford being dropped as United has only two matches remaining in the 2015-16 Premier League season.
Juan Mata was on song for Manchester United as he scored the only goal of the match, keeping the team intact in their UEFA Champions League aspirations.
Bolt, a long time Manchester United fan, said that he was unhappy with the clubs performances over the season and also mentioned that the players seemed uncomfortable under van Gaal.
United need victory to push them a point ahead of neighbours City in the race for fourth place in the Premier League. That is what we are doing, we keep the pressure on our competitors.
